Ingredients
  

Vanilla Bundt Cake

  • 2 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 125 ml cooking oil
  • 400 ml warm water
  • 3 cups flour
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • Salt
  • 15 ml vanilla essence

Granadilla Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 250 g cream cheese softened
  • 230 g granadilla pulp about 1 cup
  • 500 g icing sugar approximately 4 cups, sifted

Instructions
 

Vanilla Bundt Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F). Grease or spray a bundt tin thoroughly and set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until pale and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a small jug, stir the oil and warm water together.
  • Add half of the dry mixture to the egg mixture and gently stir to combine.
  • Pour in half of the oil-water mixture and mix again.
  • Repeat with the remaining dry ingredients and oil-water mixture, stirring just until everything is incorporated.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt tin. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the cake from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Granadilla Cream Cheese Frosting

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  • Stir in the granadilla pulp, mixing well to combine.
  • Gradually add the sifted icing sugar, beating on low speed at first to prevent a sugar cloud. Increase speed once it starts to blend. Continue mixing until you have a thick, spreadable consistency.
  • Spread or pipe the frosting over the completely cooled bundt cake. If desired, drizzle extra granadilla pulp on top for added flavor and decoration.
